Kinda Freaked Out

I was supposed to start Phase II today but I actually started it about 3 days early because I was at a catered conference for work and the food options were very limited. But also, I got kinda freaked out because I started my period early. I've been on the pill for almost 2 years now and my period has come like clockwork-I know exactly what day I'll start each month. And then on Friday I started my period a whole five days early. I'm only supposed to start when I go on the placebo pills. Since nothing else in my life has changed I've got to assume it's the diet. I only lost 6 lbs in phase 1 which I don't feel is too excessive. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm a little worried.

Something like this happened to me. I was notoriously late getting my period until going on SBD in early 2005. Two weeks after starting (I had lost 9 lbs), my period came really early because I ovulated much earlier than usual. After many years TTC my first, I got pretty good at noticing the signs! The next month, I ovulated early AGAIN! Well, it turns out that I got pregnant that month. We weren't being very careful because of our afforementioned fertility problems and I guess the early ovulation was because of increased fertility due to the diet and my lost weight.

Now, I wasn't on BCP and I'm sure that makes a big difference. If I were you, I would contact my health care provider to find out if you should be concerned about anything. Just to put your mind at ease. It is going to be hard concentrating on eating well if you are concerned it is screwing something up.

Keep us updated! :o)
